Not sure about the need for a dig at Craig Gardner? What's the story there?

The story is that when Craig was breaking into the fringes of our first team he claimed that he was a massive Villa fan, then when he moved to Small Heath he claimed he was a massive Blues fan and always had been. Don't think he's ever claimed to be a massive lifelong Olbiyun fan but then who the fuck would ever sink THAT low?
Before the game today I said to a younger fan that went with us not to expect a good game, just hope for a good result. I reckon I've missed 3/4 derbies since 1969 and can only think of three I've seen that were decent games - and even they probably weren't as good as I remember. The 2-1 at Villa Park when we came up in 1975 and the 3-2 defeat in that season's return and then I think Blues had a good go at us before we ran out 3-0 winners in the title winning season.There've been several where we've played well, but were very one-sided against poor Blues teams, but most have been pretty dire. Today's was probably the worst of the lot though in terms of quality - although the goals were well taken.
